Vmaker AI Wins AI Startup of the Year 🏆

Saravanan Pandurangan - July 3, 2024

We are super excited to announce that Vmaker AI has been honored with the prestigious 'AI Startup of the Year' award at the recently held Tech India Transformation Awards hosted by the MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium enterprises) Business Convention in partnership with National Small Industries Corporation, Govt of India and in association with the National Institute of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise, Ministry of MSME, Government of India.

Why is this such a big deal?

It was easier to receive an award in the AI category two years ago, when the AI boom had just begun. However, nowadays, AI is a heartbeat term from startups to large enterprises.

In this context, receiving an award in the AI category is like achieving something remarkable in highly competitive and rapid technological advancements.

Vmaker AI is an innovative AI video editor that aims to simplify the video editing process for users, making it accessible and efficient.

"Our vision is to make video creation as easy as possible, so that even a 4-year-old can turn their ideas and imagination into great videos within a few minutes," says RS Raghavan, CEO and Founder of Vmaker AI.

Vmaker AI helps create professional-quality videos in minutes.

For example, a professional YouTuber typically takes 5 to 6 hours to edit one video, which includes editing the raw footage, noise removal, adding subtitles, relevant B-rolls, pleasant music, and adding intros and outros—almost 26 unique activities that take 5 to 6 hours to complete. With Vmaker AI, you can do this in 5 to 6 minutes.

Vmaker's AI clip maker transforms long-form videos into short-form content for social media platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. And, also creates highlights and teasers from your videos.

Vmaker AI's free AI video generator converts your text, audio, presentation, or video into a human-like AI avatar video in minutes. It has a library of 100+ avatars with natural facial expressions, 100+ human-like voices, and hand gestures representing 15+ ethnicities.

Other features include an AI video background remover with or without using a green screen and an open library of viral styles inspired from top digital creators to make your videos go viral.

Not just AI, it also comes with an intuitive manual editing suite so you can easily edit the video as you like.

It’s customary for people to say, 'We didn’t expect this at all,' but, we'd want to differ.

This is something we expected, deserved, and worked incredibly hard for over the last 3 to 4 years.

When Pokémon GO became a global sensation overnight, founder John Hanké was asked about its sudden success. He replied, 'We had to work 20 years to finally become an overnight success.'

Our first launch doesn’t go as planned, bouncing back with a successful second launch isn’t easy.

Despite setbacks, doubts, and challenges, our team persevered. We believed in our vision—not just short-term wins, but empowering the global creator economy in the long run.

In places like Tulsi Village, Chattisgarh, where entire communities became YouTubers, we see the power of social media. News agencies like India Today and Economic Times covered their story, dubbing them the 'YouTube village of India.'

Today, this village of nearly 4,000 people earns as much as urban software engineers through social media, with some creators earning double the annual salary of a software engineer.

YouTube played their part in taking technology to the remote parts of the world.

We at Vmaker are working on breaking the barriers to enter into the creator world.

Yes, Vmaker AI won two awards at the same event, highlighting our exceptional innovation and leadership in the AI industry. This remarkable achievement showcases our team's dedication and hard work.
